For some reason I cant seem to load any the 2.xx code into the MSII. Initially I got the first version of MSII code v 1.0 a couple of years ago. I continued with my project a few weeks ago. I am using USB adaptor/ MS Download 2.00/ MSII w/ Board v2.2.
When I try to load v2.89 start loading and it always stops at 72% on early version 2.xx will stop at 95% or so.
I was only able to load v1.34 which now is working fine. Testing with simulator board.
I tried loading in different computers, same problem. Tried changing several setting on the port...nothing seems to load it.
any insight into this?

richardriver,

You can't load any v 2.xxx code on a v1 MS-II. The best way to perhaps determine the MS-IIâ„¢ version of any board is that the original boards had green LPI solder mask, where as the new V2 boards are now blue solder mask. So MegaSquirt-II version V1 is green, and the latest V2 (with CAN) is blue. The boards also have the "V2.0" or "V2.1" silkscreened onto the V1 boards and "V3.0" silk screened onto the V2 boards.

1.34 code is the latest (and last) code for the V1 MS-IIs.
